Jefferson's 1st Power H Store
Our first Jefferson Power H store was a huge success! Students used their saved Power H Bucks to purchase items from our store. Power H bucks are given out when students are exhibiting our Power H expectations: Pride, Own Actions, Wise Choices, Engaged, and Respect. Students may spend all of their bucks, or save up for bigger prizes. This process not only reinforces positive behavior, but also teaches students about monetary systems, counting, adding and subtracting, and more!
Donations to our Power H Store are always welcome! Items can be new, or gently used. Below are some suggestions:
- New or Gently used books
- New or Gently used stuffed animals
- New or Gently used games
- Dollar Store or Target Dollar Spot Items (such as fidgets, bracelets, necklaces)
- Bags of small candy like Dum-Dum suckers
